You can join clubs, play outside,partake in campus/dorm events, read at the library, etc.

Food and Dining

The food quality fluctuates, especially when you eat in the main cafeteria. But other than that, the school has plenty of options, which is key.

Dorm Life

The housing is alright, some things could definitely be improved upon.

Academic Rigor

The academics can become overwhelming if not handled properly, but generally, the rigor isn't a problem if you're a disciplined student.

Tips for prospective students

Study! Get involved! Handle your business! Enjoy yourself! Repeat!

In three sentences

It is an excellent small-town university for anyone looking to escape the big city. The facilities are decent, and the faculty members are the best, going out of their own way in making sure that you have every resource at your disposal in order to thrive and succeed. There's a very strong communal spirit on campus, as well.

Food and Dining

personally, i am a really picky eater so i was not extremely fond of the cafeteria's food. although, i did love roscoe's, the food was grilled right in front of you and made well. i also like the uc's grill there quesadilla's were my favorite.

Dorm Life

living in the dorm was not my favorite experience, but it was one where i made the most diverse amount of friends. i lived in mary massie, i did not like having a roommate where there was no privacy, but this is where i made the most friends. in the massie's, we were like a family. we used the lobby and the ra's encouraged us to mingle by holding events and knocking on every door when there was anything going on, on-campus. living on campus was a learning and most definitely a worthwhile experience.

Academic Rigor

one of my favorite things about angelo state university, is the student to faculty ratio. the professors are more than willing and able to work with you as long as you are also working hard yourself. with the small class size the professor's are able to have a more personal relationship with students and get to know everyone. not only this but many classes allow for class discussion and with this small class ratio everyone is able to speak there minds and tend to be more comfortable since the professors know them and many of the students know one another.

Tips for prospective students

students need to remember when coming to college it is a different environment than going to the same school for years. when coming they have to remember to allow themselves to get out of their comfort zones. talk to people when they are beside you in class. exchange numbers. most of all do not be afraid to talk to people and make new friends. college is all what you make it.

lisa from san antonio, tx

there are call boxes all over the campus that link to the campus police. campus police also patrols the campus all the time.

Great for these types of students

angelo state is very diverse and allows for people to make friends in all "groups".

What to do for fun

the city of san angelo does not offer to many things to do, especially if you don't know your way around. but when you join organizations or have a good set of friends there will be many more opportunities to do fun things. angelo state has a lake house with fun activities too.

Food and Dining

the food in the cafeteria is not exactly 4 star material, but it gets the job done. every now and then they serve something that is pretty good. the uc offers much better food, like chic fil a and subway.

Dorm Life

the dorm that i stayed in was very modern and nice. it offered some privacy and my roommate and i got along. people always play games and watch tv in the commons areas and have a blast.

Academic Rigor

academics are not to difficult if you do your homework and pay attention in class. the class sizes are fairly small and the professors are all very helpful. professors want you to come into their office hours to get help and they are all very reasonable.

Tips for prospective students

i would recommend for incoming freshmen to attend all the rambunctious events and to go explore the campus before the first day of class. rambunctious weekend is a kind of celebration of the start of the fall semester, during this time you can meet other students who are new too. another tip would be to find a good group of friends to hang out with, and to not put off your homework!!

In three sentences

angelo state is a very close knit community and offers many opportunities. the people are all very nice and helpful. professors are also very helpful and care about their students.

Campus Safety

Campus safety is out of this world! Campus Police are at each student's disposal if needed and can be found just about everywhere on campus. Not only are the police helpful, but there are several emergency phones on campus as well.

Bang for the buck

Angelo State offers many scholarships that are relatively easy to obtain, so you are more than likely going to spend less than anywhere else!

What to do for fun

San Angelo may be on the smaller end of the spectrum, but they offer a quiet a few things to do. There is a lake in town, which ASU owns a house on and is open in the warmer parts of the year with kayaks and volleyball courts. Also, there are cheap nights for movies occasionally and even better student discounts at the bowling alley. There is also a place where you can go to play putt putt, roller blade, play laser tag, or some arcade games for a reasonable price.

Food and Dining

Angelo only has three areas to eat on the meal plan. The UC is typically the best due to the fast food available, while Roscoe's is not too far behind with their burgers. The other one, the cafe, is on the other end of mediocre. They serve a wide variety, but its not always the best. But what do you expect from a cafeteria?

Dorm Life

Angelo's dorm life is one of the best in the country! No cinder block walls to be found on this campus. In addition to the best rooms, there is always something being put on by either the RAs or the housing department itself to entertain residents or even promote good study habits!

Academic Rigor

Classes are tuned for the average bear. Not too many extremely hard classes in the beginning, but as is typical, the major courses require the most effort.

Tips for prospective students

Make sure to tour before you come! The weather here is crazy and just one day will show you that. Not only does one day show you the weather, but it emphasizes on the great people and their efforts to help you do whatever it is you plan on doing!

In three sentences

Angelo State University is a great up and coming university in Texas. This town includes and exceeds wonderful Southern hospitality and everyone is interested in seeing each student succeed. Overall it is a wonderful school and is making headway in becoming one of the best in Texas!

Angelo State University is a Military Friendly college, and had great academics to offer. If you want to stay away from the city life and live in a peaceful environment then ASU would be a good option for you

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

There is a planetarium here where they show movies every Thursday which is something you might look forward to.

What to do for fun

San angelo is a small city, and there isn't much here to do for fun. We have several student association here on campus who are always doing something or the other, and the gym is pretty fun too. On a scale of 1-5, it is only 2.5 fun.

Tips for prospective students

Always apply for honors program, and if possible, visit the campus before making your final decision

In three sentences

The academics here is great, and the professors are very friendly. The food however isn't that great and there are only limited options available. In overall, it is a good small town college with peaceful environment and friendly people.

They rent inflatable bounce houses or obstacle courses. There is a DJ that will play music throughout the entire event.

There is an organization on this campus for EVERYONE! Also, to the people that love the gym, you have the REC center.

One strange tradition is to put your gum on the Gum Tree next to the library. People do this mostly during finals. It is said it gives you luck to pass your finals.

Bang for the buck

College is college, so it's going to be expensive. However, if you play your cards right you can get through college well off.

What to do for fun

Make friends and go out. If you cannot go out or don't have a car, there are plenty of things to do on campus. You can go to the gym or hang out at the UC and play pool. However, San Angelo has many great places to go with friends. On the weekends you can go to Midnight Rodeo and listen to some awesome artists they have. You can also go to the mall and movies.

Food and Dining

Food is great. You have a large variety of foods down at the UC. There is also a cafeteria and Roscoe's Den.

Dorm Life

So far dorm life is good. It is my second semester here at ASU, but I did not live in the dorms my first semester.

Academic Rigor

It really depends on the professor you get. Some are laid back and really nice. On the other hand, some are tough and their lecture does not match the test or homework.

Tips for prospective students

When making your class schedule got to www.ratemyprofessor.com. In addition, do not over do your hours. You will stress out and probably have a meltdown.

The course are generally not something you can blow off, I can honestly say I feel educated

Food and Dining

The options on campus are great and continuously expanding, we have gotten so many new options in just the time I've been at school.

Dorm Life

For the most part the dorms are very nice, compared to other schools they are spacious, and even offer individual and roommate options. However, as a person who needs a service dog, they were very inconsiderate of my needs and ultimately pushed me to move out of the dorms altogether. Very displeased about the conduct by staff and administration regarding that. Highly inconsiderate, I was often spoken down to and staff was condescending. So for those with special needs or accommodations, watch out.

Academic Rigor

Some of the classes are really difficult, however the school makes a concerted effort to give their students the best resources for success.

Tips for prospective students

Don't slack, it is so very easy your first semesters to abuse all that shiny new freedom, and I see too many people suffer for it. No matter how good a school is, no one can save your grade if you don't put in effort.

In three sentences

A growing university in the Texas Tech system with one of the best online programs in Texas. Professors genuinely invested in not only the student's education but well being are very easily found. A great transition into the real world.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

ON the campus of Angelo State University we have a tree stump that was cut down and left for years. Finally they decided what to do with the stump after years, they made it into a ram head because our mascot is the ram.

Bang for the buck

What you pay for the dorms is a little outrageous, but what you pay for tuition is reasonable.

What to do for fun

Things to do for fun are the intramural sports or just going out and playing volleyball with your friends in the sand volleyball court, going to the gym, going to the games on campus, or going to the different activities they have on campus that the frat and sororities put together.

Food and Dining

There are several places on campus to eat at. The places to eat are reasonably priced for students. My favorite place on campus to eat is Roscoes Den.

Dorm Life

The dorms are fun! Football Sundays are the best when you can go out into the common area and watch football with a lot of the other student staying in your dorm.

Academic Rigor

Angelo State University is a top ranked school because it is a tough college, but every bit the professors teach will help you in the career field you intend on going into.

The campus police do a great job of keeping the campus safe, however, do not do things that you would not unusally do. Be careful and be cautious who you surround yourself with.

The fraternities and sororites on campus are pretty good. There are a variety to choose from. There is an annual step show that consists of all fraternities and sororities during Homecoming Week.

Clubs and Activities

There are lots of great organizations and activities to choose from for students. The students who are in charge of the organizations and clubs are very nice and are ALWAYS looking for students to join their clubs.

Great for these types of students

Angelo State University is greate for students who are wanting to get away from the big city for awhile then I would most definitely recommend coming here. If you are looking for an affordable public school besides Lamar University and Tarleton State University, then I would suggest coming to ASU as well. The actual location of San Angelo may not be to your liking but I can honestly say that it is a great school filled with great opportunities and resources.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The ASU Bonfire is an unusual tradition that is done during Homecoming week.

Bang for the buck

Angelo State University is pretty affordable and it is one of the cheapest public schools in Texas. They are willing to assist students with financial assistance as long as you make an effort to actually apply for the scholarships that are avaialbe to you.

What to do for fun

Well, the campus offers a lot of intramural sports and organizations to join so you will not have a problem with that. The overall city of San Angelo does not consist of a lot of fun things to do compared to cities like Dallas, Texas, but then again, it is what you make of it. Most importantly, take care of your classes first and then have fun.

Food and Dining

There 3 seperate dining areas on campus. There is the general cafe, Roscoe's Den, and the University Center food court. The general cafe food can be good at times, but if you're looking for a clean and much better food to eat, I would suggest Roscoe's Den and the University Center food court. Roscoe's Den is a fast food joint on campus that many students go to especially at night because it does not close until 12 am. The university center consists of Chick-fi-la, Subway, a chinese restaurant, a general restaurant, home styled resturant, and a salad and sandwhich wrap restaurant. There are options for students to choose from.

Dorm Life

There are several dorms to choose from at ASU. The dorms are pretty nice and you will not have to worry about any bugs or other pests coming into your dorms. The air conditioners work very well and if you run into a problem within your dorm, the work maintenace officials are always there to fix the problem. The housing department of ASU is great as well. If you have any issues with your roommate they are willing to work with you and your roommate to fix the situation in an effective way.

Academic Rigor

The courses are moderate to difficult depending on how you are as an individual. However, if you are taking a difficult course, ASU offers great resources and students who are willing to assist you with your difficulties.

Tips for prospective students

Always utilize your resources and take advantage of the events that come up on campus and also in the community. If you are interested in participating in an ROTC program, Angelo State offers an excellent Air Force ROTC program and it is on campus which is a plus. Also, if you are struggling in the courses the professors are ALWAYS willing to help you and make time to fix your issues. For students who are not from San Angelo, ASU offers a Host Family program where a family from San Angelo will be your supporters and help you throughout your college career.

In three sentences

Angelo State University offers great resources to students. They have numerous tutoring centers such as the writing center, math center, and a general center for all course subjects.

Not as popular as it is at bigger universities, but still a large part of the Angelo State community. Best frat -Kappa Sigma newer but all the members are pretty cool guys. Best sorority -Sigma Kappa or Delta Zeta.

Clubs and Activities

I have enjoyed the clubs at ASU, and have made some great friends because of them. I would recommend Ram Rugby, Chi Alpha, and intermural sports.

Great for these types of students

Like the small college environment, and want to learn.

Gum tree- Place a piece of gum on a particular tree near the library to guarantee a good grade on a final.

Bang for the buck

Definitely a good school for the price. Guarantee you will learn way better in the Angelo State small classroom environment than anywhere else.

What to do for fun

Go to all the ASU events, meet lots of people, and hang out on the weekends. Don't spend all you're time in your dorm. The town of San Angelo is pretty unexciting, but you can definitely have a good time. Best thing to do, go to the Ram Rugby games at the intermural fields.

Some dorms are better than others, but most of them are fairly large. If you are a freshman I would recommend the massies, it is the best cheap dorm available. If you want quality stay in Texan for a really nice dorm.

Academic Rigor

Moderate difficulty in most cases, some classes are easier than others. Study hard and go to class and your final grade will be show it.

Wait until you go to class to buy books, so you don't spend unnecessary money. Check your professors on Ratemyprofessor.com. Get involved in a club or organization so you can make lot of good relationships.

It was hard for me to find a college that I could actually afford and not be in a ton of debt someday but also somewhere I could get my full degree. Angelo State did it for me! It is worth every penny I pay.

Amazing!! We have so many brand new facilities. I feel as if I live in an apartment or I've just been on vacation staying in a hotel for months! Dorm life is so fun and you meet so many new people, definitely enjoyable.

Academic Rigor

The classes are challenging but so fun! You learn in hands on situations and really get the full effect on what your studying. The classes are also very easy to comprehend and the professors are awesome.

Tips for prospective students

If you have a question about anything, call because the administration here is so helpful and easy to understand. They give you step by step instruction and make the college admission process seem easy!

Tanner from Coppell, TX

Emails, cops around every corner, and school-petitioned rules allow for a safe environment.

Greek Life

Many students participate in Greek life, though it is far from a requirement to excel socially and academically.

Clubs and Activities

The school tries to engage all the students with a variety of activities throughout the school year.

Great for these types of students

Conservative, money-aware students.

The athletic facilities are top notch and the community rallies around their sports. There are also fun dance clubs nearby for all genres of music.

There are a few different places to dine on campus. However, the meal plans are a hassle to sort out, and the food quality is not up to par with the price.

Dorm Life

A large variety of places on and off campus allow students to live affordably and comfortably.

Academic Rigor

While the academics are solid for a normal person, they fail to challenge the students who thrive for more knowledge.

Tips for prospective students

Look at all your options and weigh the positives and negatives for each school against each other.

In three sentences

Angelo State excels in bringing an affordable education to a public university situated in the heart of Texas. The student to faculty ratio enables students to be challenged in their academic pursuit.

Campus Safety

The town itself is very safe and calm. And campus police are always around. One helped me when my car broke down, found my wallet, and helped me find my best friend when she wasn't answering her phone.

Greek Life

Not too wide of a selection.

Great for these types of students

Average students who take advantage of the help will do better than they thought they could.

Bang for the buck

Inexpensive town.

What to do for fun

not much to do but talk and listen...'' -Drake Depends on what you enjoy. Plenty of open spaces to drink and chill. Only 2 nightclubs that are out of date. 1 movie theatre. A bunch of cute shops and tiny spots to enjoy on a 70 degree day. If you are 21+ plenty of bars. The lake is always beautiful, whether you go for a swim, dip your feet in, go a jog, or simply watch the sun set with someone special. That is about it.

Food and Dining

Like any food, it gets annoying after a while. You will love it in the beginning and find yourself digging for change to buy you anything but meal plan at the end. Don't get the most expensive meal plan!!! You won't use it.

Dorm Life

Dorm life is always fun, especially being your first time away from mom and dads rules. The dorms are some of the nicest you can get for your money.

Academic Rigor

The school, faculty, and other students are very helpful and persistent in getting you the education and grades you pay for. There are 'supplemental instruction' sessions for every course which help significantly in addiction to cooperative and enthusiastic professors. Most Universities make you still through an hour lecture of Borden then expect you to go home, teach yourself, and come back with assignments you barley managed to understand. While ASU faculty engages, teaches, instructs, and assists their students.

Tips for prospective students

Are you thinking of going to Anglo State? Before you make a decision consider the following: 1. Are you looking for a down scaled college experience? 2. Do you do better in small classes with people who will know you? 3. Are you gay? (cause there aren't very many gay people in San Angelo) 4. Are you looking for an exciting night life or serene school focused environment?

In three sentences

Small and great learning environment. A relaxing, calm, safe town where everyone knows you. The school will make you feel like they want you to be comfortable and successful. Great hospitality.

What to do for fun

There are activities that are planned by student organizations or by the school.

Food and Dining

The food and dining is great here at ASU because there are a lot of options to choose from. Breakfast there is usually Pancakes, French toast, bagels, bacon, eggs, hash-brown, sausage, cereal, fruit, milk juice, and soda. For lunch and dinner there is a fruit/ salad bar, mexican dishes, hamburgers, pizza, pasta and dessert.

Dorm Life

Dorm life depends on how you enjoy your time there. The Wifi is not very good but it is better than nothing. There are activities and games that the R. A.'s host so residents can meet and be comfortable around each other.

Academic Rigor

Depending on what your major is and what classes you are taking. Your professors will post assignments on BB, if they use it, and it will send you that they have done so by email. It is easy if you study and do the homework assigned.

Tips for prospective students

Visit professors during office hours because they are there to help you if you have trouble in their class. They are very nice and you will be their number one priority when you visit them. Use all the available sources offered such as tutoring because it is all paid for in your tuition.

In three sentences

It is a small campus, which makes it easy to get to class on time. There are available resources for students such as computer labs and the library that is open 24/7 with exception to holidays. Classes and Buildings are easy to get around.

Galen from San Angelo, TX

Like any place, there will be break ins and violence but we have the highest cop to people ratio, so it is not a common thing to have happen.

What to do for fun

For fun they have a nice gym so I go there and workout when I can.

Food and Dining

I only had the meal plan for one semester, but over all their food is good.

Dorm Life

The dorms are a little cramped, but they help you meet new people and make friends.

Academic Rigor

The classes are not easy, but if you put your time and effort into them, your grade will usually show what you have put in.

Tips for prospective students

Make sure you go to your classes. Some of the classes do not take attendance and leave it up to you if you want to pass or fail.

In three sentences

Angelo State University is a good school, they are highly ranked in a lot of their degree plans through out the state. It is a small campus that is growing. The classes are small so it is easier to get help from the teachers; whether it is understanding something from class or an issue that has come up with your grades.

Depends how involved one is at school.

Bang for the buck

What to do for fun

There is something to do when you're bored if you look hard enough. Especially in the student recreation center. There are many clubs and greek organizations even the most prestigious ones.

Food and Dining

Food was mostly nice or okay.

Dorm Life

I live at home but the dorms aren't terrible; some are very nice.

Academic Rigor

Some professors are easy and lenient, which may make some students become too comfortable. But there are plenty of challenging professors.

Tips for prospective students

If students want a lively city, then they should consider others as well because the community is retirement-oriented. There are clubs and bars, but those who are focused and want a extremely affordable education, should not care about such hobbies. However, the town does have a culture of its own, there is something to do if one looks hard enough.

In three sentences

Angelo State great learning institution for the value. The campus is still small, so being overwhelmed or lost is probably rare even during freshman year. Since it's a small university, there are more opportunities to build bonds with professors and ask them questions unlike big research universities.

Clubs and Activities

Angelo State always has some type of intramural sport going on from football to extreme frisbee and this is a year round thing! The school caters to all cultures with a variety of clubs and the opportunity to start one of your own. There is never a dull moment on campus rather you like doing ab lab or Zumba or you would prefer to go to a comedy show!

Food and Dining

I am a vegetarian so the variety of items are very slim for me at this particular school but they do provide me and the campus with meatless Monday! An issue with the meal plan is that if it isn't a commuter plan then if you miss the time for a meal you lose that money even if at the end of the day you haven't swiped your card once. The university provides a variety from Asian cuisine to pizza and all the in between like fruit so that is appreciated.

Dorm Life

This rating is a tad on the low side but that is just my personal experience with roommates and inconsiderate lobby mates! The actual dorms are built beautifully and provide you with just the proper amount of space to study, socialize, eat, and of course sleep! My only complaint about some of the older dorms is that they do not have recycling so the students can't take advantage of that aspect.

Academic Rigor

Every single one of my classes so far have been under 35 students making the learning process that much easier! The instructors and professors at this university go out of their way to make sure you understand all of the material! Tutoring labs and writing labs have been a huge part of my academic life and the staff in those work over time until you are comfortable leaving.

Tips for prospective students

I recommend that if you do not have access to a vehicle that you do not attend this university. Even though most things like the grocery stores and some fast food places are in walking distance the town has much more to offer that only a vehicle can allow you to get to. This university is also known for its outstanding physical therapy program so if that is your field of choice then this should be your school of choice!

In three sentences

Angelo state has great professors that get to know their students along with small class sizes. What the school lacks in food choices it often makes up in its location to a variety of different restaurants! The university works hard to bring different events to campus that will suit every individuals likes.

Chaise from Del Rio, TX

We have a club for anything you can think of as well as plenty of fraternities and sororities to join, and an AFROTC detachment.

Great for these types of students

Bang for the buck

This is one of the best educations you can recieve, and it is by far one of the cheapest universities to attend in Texas. Paying for college here makes it easy on your wallet.

What to do for fun

There are plenty of on campus activities as well as activities put on by the dorm room staff each month. There is never a day without a fun activity to do on campus.

Food and Dining

It's not home cooking, but it's not the worst ood I've had.

Dorm Life

Great dorms! The best I have seen at any college in Texas! Enjoy your own rooms. Newly built! Great people throughout all dorms on campus!

Academic Rigor

There is no such thing as easy classes at any college. The only way to make it easy is to put enough effort in your classes.

Tips for prospective students

I would advise prospective students to keep track of all of your college finances. You are no longer a high school student, so they will not remind you on any bills that you might have to pay. Always study, you can spend time with friends once your are done with your homework. Have fun, these are some of the best years of your life.

In three sentences

This is one of the best small universities to attend in Texas. You get one on one time with professors while in classes, and plenty of time to speak with an advisor. On top of that, there are many degree programs to choose from, one of the best nursing programs in the nation, and the best mid-sized AFROTC detachment in the South West region.

Cafe food is pretty good. You can always choose from different choices and there is also fast food resturants close to the campus if you would rather have fast food.

Dorm Life

The freshman enviorment is amazing. all the residential assistants try to make the dorms homely as possible. They always have amazing activies in the lobby to make everyone comfy as possible.

Academic Rigor

All classes are small just like high school, so all your teachers will be able to remember your name and you can always go to your professor. It has its own ranch and great outside activities.

Tips for prospective students

All new prospective students should be super excited to come to Angelo State University because all students and faculty act like family.

Bang for the buck

Angelo state is definitely one of the best schools for the bang of your buck. Once you officially attend you are able to use all services that ASU has to offer most of them included inn your tuition like the gym, planetarium, sporting events the whole 9 yards.

What to do for fun

ASU has tons of clubs, and activities to be involved in. While San Angelo may not be the craziest town ever there is normally somewhere to go to accommodate your interest.

Food and Dining

Food isn't fantastic but it isn't bad either. There are multiple places to eat on campus so you can always find whatever you might be craving that day.

Dorm Life

Dorm life is fantastic. Everyone is usually incredibly easy going and making friends shouldn't be a problem at all.

Academic Rigor

Angelo state courses aren't incredibly hard with good management skills and work ethic getting straight A's shouldn't be a problem. Just keep up with your classes and make sure you actually attend the class.

Tips for prospective students

Really as long as you attend class you should be able to do well. You get what you put out so if you work hard your grade will reflect it.

In three sentences

Angelo state is a great school especially for those who want a small student/teacher ratio. ASU provides tons of opportunities to get involved around campus and express yourself in multiple ways. It has a very nice campus that is well kept and respected on many levels.

Jasmine Vallian from Mathews, LA

I know students are required to live on campus the first year but the dorm look very comfortable.

Academic Rigor

I have only visited the school but I would think the courses would be medium course load.

In three sentences

My visit at ASU was very short but I must admit I loved it. I visited the MIR center on a trip and I must say it is state-of-art facilities there. Also the faculty are great and seem as they would know everyone by name.

Kelli from San Angelo, TX

There have been a rash of car burglaries as of late but the campus police have been quick to put a stop to them and are very cooperative.

Greek Life

I am not a member of any Greek sororities here but my friends who are tell me they enjoy it quite a bit.

Clubs and Activities

The theater program here is amazing. Auditions are open to anyone on campus as well as the public. The productions the school puts are of the highest quality possible for the school. The sets are amazing and well thought out and the costuming is amazing. Not to mention the wonderful actors who take part in each and every production.

Great for these types of students

It is great for students who want a small, one-on-one atmosphere in a quiet town.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

I would have to say the gum tree is a pretty unusual location on campus. It is customary to put your gum of any color , when you are done with it of course, on that tree to add to all the other showcases of dental expression.

Bang for the buck

For the amount of money that you are paying, which is very little compared to other schools, you get the education you buy. It is dollar for dollar a match.

What to do for fun

There are numerous sporting events and activities on campus to keep you busy for days. Not to mention the great concerts and seminars they bring to campus.

Food and Dining

The food here is pretty good. We have a Chic-fil-A and many other great food places like Blimpies. We also have a Starbucks and a smoothie and yogurt shop.

Dorm Life

I don't live on campus here. From what I hear though, it is a great experience with a lot of opportunities to make friends.

Academic Rigor

It is not too challenging however, it's not that easy either. It's a nice school to get your undergraduate degree. Since it is such a small school the degree plans are limited as well as opportunities for people who aren't education or nursing majors here.

Tips for prospective students

You should enjoy your time here; enjoy your life in this moment as a college student. Take advantage of the familial atmosphere and also, take part in all the campus activities. It doesn't get more fun than those!

In three sentences

This is such a good school. The classes are smaller than most, so there is a bigger opportunity for one-on-one involvement between teachers and students. You get to know your teachers as well as getting to meet people from different backgrounds.

Campus Safety

There are help buttons throughout the campus if there is any troubles.

Bang for the buck

I save every penny I can. Working, going to school, and being a single teen mom puts me on a budget.

What to do for fun

I will probably be walking around campus between classes making new friends.

Food and Dining

The cafeteria has a buffet with a huge selection. I ate there during orientation and it was delicious!

Dorm Life

I won't be living in a dorm. I have a four year old son that allows me to live off campus.

Academic Rigor

Do the best you can do. Be on top of all your studies. Keep up with studying and try to make A's.

Tips for prospective students

Look for student orientations and be active with your school. You will feel less lost and more confident.

In three sentences

Angelo State University has a great way to inform incoming students with the S.O.A.R. program. This program was made to show students a different side of ASU with student orientation. Attending S.O.A.R. lead me to discover more about ASU and not just know what classes to take.

Brianna from Killeen, TX

There's no cameras in the parking lots (unless they fixed that recently) so there's been a problem with people breaking into cars and stealing things =( But hey, if you don't have a car you're good!

Clubs and Activities

Join the University Center Program Council! They're the people on campus who organize almost all of the events that you'll be having on campus.

Great for these types of students

Great for the studious type.

What to do for fun

Like i said, ASU is not what you would call a party school. The frat guys throw a few major parties over the course of the year though. The on campus committees do a pretty good job of forming events and providing movies and things for us to go to. And hey, it's West Texas so there's always football!

Food and Dining

The food is better than what you typically might've gotten in high school. However....don't expect it to be like mom's home cooking. Oh, and the cost of the meal plan is a little pricey.

Dorm Life

Do not live in Concho Hall! We on-campus students have a few choice nicknames for that place. The good news is that ASU typically reserves some of the older rundown dorms like Concho for student overflow. So apply for housing early, lest you get stuck in some old moldy building straight out of the 70's. Freshmen have new dorms though....

Academic Rigor

Coming from a former AP student, I'd say the academic rigor is definitely enough to keep you busy, especially your first year in. But its not so much that you won;t be able to maintain a job and an active social life.

Tips for prospective students

If you're considering attending ASU, just know that this is NOT a party school. San Angelo is a small town with a modest population; all the more reason to bring your A game because thats what they value around here. Make sure you apply for those work study jobs early!

In three sentences

Angelo State's great for those that are the type to put grades at the forefront of their priorities. It's a pretty calm environment, but not so calm that it's boring. The student body is pretty friendly for the most part.

Travis from San Angelo, TX

Our campus safety is very well respected and also alert to any emergencies. They also are very approachable with any questions about campus direction or rules.

Greek Life

Not too sure, I've always avoided the whole frat and sorority scene, though I hear of great parties from time to time.

Clubs and Activities

There are many associations for all types of people. I currently involved myself into their newly started veterans club.

Great for these types of students

I've noticed a lot of foreign students during the summer semester for 2012. I'm sure it is a sign of an excellent foreign exchange program

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Each year there is a large bon fire the school does which is interesting.

Bang for the buck

Well, each year the tuition has risen, but it's no where close to some of the larger schools. Also, from what the professors say, Angelo State University is a well known school and looked highly upon for nursing and its sciences.

What to do for fun

There's always the sand volleyball scene and the school provides many trips to large attraction sites around Texas.

Food and Dining

They do offer both healthy and fast food throughout the day and the chow hall is not too bad.

Academic Rigor

Depending on what professor is taken is everything.

Tips for prospective students

Create good study habits from the start. Avoid the party scene.

In three sentences

Excellent starter and nursing school. Great for students from small towns, not looking to move to a big city for school. Top of the line science department, though parking can be bad sometimes.

Campus Safety

I have never once felt unsafe at ASU. Even late at night there are police patrolling and offering to walk you back to your dorms, or just saying a friendly hello. Drugs and Alcohol are not an issue on campus and the dorms are all very secure and difficult to get into if you are not a resident, or accompanied by one. While there are some car burglaries, it should not be an issue if you actually lock your doors and don't leave expensive things lying around in your car.

Greek Life

The Greek life here is OK. There are always fraternity parties happening somewhere off campus, and people are always looking for knew sorority or fraternity members. While some do party quite a bit, all of the Greek organizations are very involved in the community and campus and generally are very friendly to all students.

Clubs and Activities

It is very easy to get involved here, whether it is church organizations, sports, or other random clubs like the video game association, there is something for everyone.

Great for these types of students

It is great for small town students who don't want to be overwhelmed with large classes or too many people. Students who cant afford a big name school but still want a quality education and a reputable diploma would fit in well here.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

There is the gum tree, where students put their previously chewed gum on for good luck. When it gets icy and snowy, all the students go sledding on the hill between Texan hall and the basketball arena.

Bang for the buck

For as low as the tuition is at ASU, you really get your moneys worth. The gym is great, the food is OK, and the dorms are really nice. The teachers all have great educations, some are leading in their fields, and they are all extremely friendly and willing to work for you. The honors program at ASU is highly competitive with even the big name schools like Tech and A&M.

What to do for fun

There are many bars if you are of age, and Midnight Rodeo is fun if you like dancing and country music. Intramural sports is a big deal at Angelo State and you can always find a sports game going on somewhere. There are quite a few good places to walk or ride bikes and the lake is great for swimming, camping, or just hanging out with friends.

Food and Dining

The food plan is a little expensive, but for the low cost of tuition it is not too bad. There are different places around campus which offer many types of food. The food is not horrible but its definitely not five star. The only issue you sometimes run into is that the stores and the cafeteria close pretty early in the evening so you cant eat late at night.

Dorm Life

The dorms, other than Concho, are extremely nice. You will only have to share a bathroom with up to 4 people, or less. The staff in the dorms are very friendly and helpful if you have any problems. The dorms are very laid back and relaxed and you generally shouldn't have a problem getting to know people in your all with all the programs that are put on. It can get slightly noisy if you are the type who like complete quiet when you sleep and study, but it is not too bad.

Academic Rigor

Many of the core classes are relatively easy if you just do the work that is assigned to you and show up. The classes specific to certain majors are much more challenging, but the professors do an excellent job of making class interesting and working with students if they need the help. If you work hard you will get the grades you deserve, there are no free handouts.

Tips for prospective students

Don't worry about not knowing anyone in college, the people here are very friendly. Realize that you will actually have to study and go to class, even if you did not have to in high school. The more you get involved in the school and community, the more at home you will feel.

In three sentences

Angelo State is a great school for students looking to pay less and get more. The university offers an abundance of extracurricular activities ran by friendly and enthusiastic people. The campus is beautiful and the students and staff are very welcoming.

Campus Safety

Like I said before, it's a small town! If there is something going wrong its usually found out in a couple of days. No real crime here and if you are sensible, you will have a great experience at ASU!!!!!

Greek Life

Greek life is well and stable here at ASU, but there is no hazing. That is great cause everyone is included, even single parents!!!

Clubs and Activities

There are clubs. The Greek clubs are more active than the other clubs. We do have a really great Homecoming week, but as the semester goes on the clubs are a little less active, which is good considering finals are tough on everyone.

Great for these types of students

Students that like a small town feel. All the churches here in town adopt the incoming freshman. There is always something free to eat. The classroom size is generally 30 or less. The junior and senior level class sizes are 15 or less.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

There is a nasty bubblegum tree that people stick their ABC gum on.

Bang for the buck

Awesome!! Approximately 65-80,000 is all you will pay for a four year degree. If you stay up on your studies and keep your Carr Scholarship it is significantly less.

What to do for fun

We have a two lakes, a lake house, biking, camping, running, intramural sports, movie theater, opera, symphony, free outdoor theater, fireworks on holidays, swimming, bars and dancing....there is plenty of volunteer work available too!!!

Food and Dining

There is probably more restaurants here than any small town would ever need. Campus food is more than adequate and tastes great too!

Dorm Life

There is a variety of dorms here with varied pricing. San Angelo is a small town in West Texas so with the Carr Scholarship and a part-time job there is no reason to even take loans.

Academic Rigor

Of course this also depends on your major. The nursing and physical therapy departments are very demanding. Although I am a German major I have heard that the Accounting department prepares you very well for the CPA and CMA exams.

Tips for prospective students

Do your homework! Talk to your professors and you will get better results. There is free tutoring here and the Carr Scholarship pays your way. Know what you want to major in by the sophomore year and start getting scholarship money from your department.

A small town college that cares about students. Everyone know everyone, which could be good or bad. No way to fail if you do what's asked.

Campus Safety

Campus is extremely safe. All resident halls have card readers that only allow residents of that building to enter and have cameras placed in all of the hall ways. Emergency call boxes are stationed throughout campus and our UPD patrol the streets at night. UPD can be called to escort you back to your dorm if you don't want to walk alone from the library or your car at night.

Greek Life

Greek life is about average size and the greeks are well known across campus.

Clubs and Activities

There is definitely a club for everyone here from video games to the American Chemical Society.

ASU is great for both shy and outgoing students. There is definitely a place for everyone here.

Ram Jam is a tailgate party that gives students a chance to show their blue and yellow pride before football games. A very loud cannon is fired after every ASU touchdown!

Bang for the buck

ASU is one of the cheapest universities in Texas and offers many free services such as a clinic and large rec center.

What to do for fun

Residential Programs often hosts events on campus such as cookouts, sand volleyball tournaments, movie nights, video game tournaments, super bowl parties, and dance parties that are all free. ASU has its own lake house right on the lake where students can go BBQ, check out kayaks, or soak up some sun. San Angelo has great shopping and all kinds of places to eat at.

Food and Dining

The cafeteria provides good food and a convenient place to socialize. Though the food isn't like moms cooking, there is a variety of things to choose from.

Dorm Life

Residence halls at ASU are a home away from home. Roommates are matched based on similar interests and, on the rare occasion that there is a roommate conflict, problems are quickly solved. There is a staff of about 50 resident assistants (RAs) on campus. The RAs are always available to help the students in any way whether by giving advice, lending an ear, mediating a roommate conflict, or helping register and find classes. The residence halls are very nice and comfortable. Some buildings offer private rooms and there are buildings designated for freshmen to live. The freshman housing is specially equipped for helping make the transition from home to on your own as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

Academic Rigor

Courses at ASU are great! Every professor takes a personal interest in their students and make contacting them for help very easy. Class sizes are small and interaction during lecture is welcome and encouraged. Resources such as the touter center, math lab, writing center, and SI sessions make tackling a challenging course a piece of cake.

Tips for prospective students

Apply early and be familiar with the process, mark important dates and deadlines in a calendar where you can see them, and contact your future advisor (it makes a good impression).

In three sentences

Angelo State University is the perfect size and provides its students with the resources, opportunities, and motivation they need to succeed during and after their time at ASU. The easy to navigate campus is filled with friendly faces, comfortable home-like residence halls, eager-to-help staff, and professors that take a personal interest in the success of each and every student. San Angelo offers culture, good food, community, activities, and a home away from home.

Dorm Life

Dorm life is what you make it. Each dorm has it's own character and setting. Pick the right one and you should get matched up with a compatible roommate. I know I was! We are still great friends.

Academic Rigor

It is hard, but there are endless available tools ASU provides to help students pass such as Student Instruction study times (SI), direct communication to all teachers at all times, study halls, and 24/7 access to free wifi and computers.

Tips for prospective students

go ahead and apply. even if this school isn't your #1 pick, it is pretty easy to get accepted and have it as a back up plan.

In three sentences

it is a very good school because of the low teacher to student ratio so the professors really help out a lot after their class hours. also it is in san angelo which is pretty goo because it has some of the big town feel , but without all of the traffic.

Campus Safety

We have our own Campus Police you are always available to the students. They will even walk to you your car if you are frightened. They will send out emails if cars have been burglarized, so you are always kept informed of very important information on campus.

Greek Life

I love Angelo State University's Greek Life program. I am currently President of an organization and the staff at ASU is always willing to help answer any questions I may have.

Clubs and Activities

I highly recommend joining an organization within your field of study, not only for contacts and references but for help studying and getting to know new people on campus. Plus, most of time students are always willing to help another in the same field.

Great for these types of students

ASU has a wonderful Nursing Program, but most any field is one you can get a good degree in here.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

We have what many call the Gum Tree. When you take your first tour of the campus, every tour guide will show you this tree, located next to the Porter Henderson Library. Sadly, this past year a storm hit and caused the tree to fall. The stump still exists and still has gum all of it.

Bang for the buck

I would say ASU is somewhat expensive, but compared to other big schools you are getting great staff and severely newly renovated buildings. We recently re did our library and center for human performance center and both are wonderful!

What to do for fun

I am personally involved in a co-ed business fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi, and have met students who are in the business field. I would suggest joining some form of Greek Life or any other organization on campus.

Food and Dining

I have only been in the cafeteria one time and the food was not bad...for cafeteria food. It was a little expensive for me, but there are other places nearby and even on campus that are affordable for the average college student.

Dorm Life

I have never lived on campus, but I have been in the newest edition on campus, Centennial. You have to choice of either a two or four bedroom living quarters. I believe the University should provide the students the option of living off campus without having completed 60 credit hours.

Academic Rigor

The professors are very serious about the coursework and every one has an attendance policy. The faculty does care about each student as long as each student puts forth the effort needed to pass the course.

Tips for prospective students

Tuition may be high, but go out and explore the campus and San Angelo. You never know who you may meet. Take advantage of all the facilities that are offered to you by the University.

In three sentences

Angelo State University is a member of the Texas Tech University, but is not so overwhelming as a large school. ASU is very spirited and always has some activity provided for its students to attend. ASU has been nomiated in the Princenton Review as one of the top schools to attend.

It depends on the major, but for the most part the teacher are helpful.

Time management! Focus and don't get distracted. Study and use the tutoring available whenever it's possible.

In three sentences

Angelo State is a small school and community. The teachers are all friendly and helpful when students seek help. There is all kinds of extra curricular activities, as the school says it there something for everyone.

James from San Angelo, TX

Personally I love to hang out in the University Center with friends and play pool, table hockey, ping-pong, or watch one of the several televisions.

Food and Dining

There is an all you can eat cafeteria on campus. There is also an open food court in the University Center. Along with on campus dining there is a multitude of different restaurants surrounding the campus and a grocery store less that two miles from campus.

Dorm Life

I don't live in the dorms myself, but Angelo State just built two brand new dorms! They are up to date and quite appealing.

Academic Rigor

A lot is expected out of the Students of Angelo State. Students are expected to study hard, work hard, and be honest in their studies.

In three sentences

Angelo State University is a fun, affordable, and educational college in west Texas. The teachers are quite helpful; they are ore than willing to advise any student in need. The registration process and ease of their online database is quite exceptional.

Cary from San Angelo,, TX

Physics or Nursing students, small town kids, or anyone that wants a good education for a reasonable price.

Tips for prospective students

Apply for the Carr Scholarships, or whatever you can. Tour the campus, ask students walking down the Mall what they think of the school. Find someone you know that goes there and spend a weekend there. Drive around town.

Bang for the buck

Although tuition keeps going up, ASU is still relatively cheap for the quality of education you get. I like to say that ASU is easy to get into, but hard to get out of.

Am enjoying being here

A lot of people say there is nothing to do here. Well, I come from a small town of 500 people where there really is nothing to do. San Angelo is a big city with a small town feel, with plenty of activities for those that care to look.

Am learning a lot

The professors, for the most part, are willing to work with you as much as you require. Being a small school, you are on first name basis with your professors, which aids in making the learning environment a comfortable one. The professors are very accommodating when you need extra help outside of class.

Stephanie from Kempner, TX

Great for students who are from small towns. Students who want to be known and involved.

Tips for prospective students

Its a whole new world when you start college. Don't be shy though the more friends you meet the more fun you have. Also don't bring too much stuff the rooms aren't that big, and no space means not happy students.

Bang for the buck

Angelo is going through many changes right now. They are in the process of building a new dorm for freshmen and campus green area. They also just finished building a state of the art gym and climbing wall. The college also employs a great group of people who know what they are teaching and how to teach it. Your going to learn no matter how much you try not to.

Am enjoying being here

It's a wonderful campus full of exciting people, and great teachers. There's so many activities that go on during the year that you almost forget to miss home. I found that I really didn't like going home but once a month.

Am learning a lot

I have learned so much from going to college here. The teachers are great at doing their jobs, many even go back and reteach stuff from high school just to make sure you get the full information needed.

Joshua from San Angelo, TX

Go-get-em' students will thrive here. If you love taking advantage of unique opportunities, this IS the place.

Tips for prospective students

Come drop by the campus and check it out. Nothing beats seeing the campus in real life. It will give you a realistic scope of the university as a whole.

Bang for the buck

If you keep your grades at a good level, money is not too much of an issue.

Am enjoying being here

I love the many programs that occur on campus. Whether it is through residential programs or UCPC, there are many things that can make your stay enjoyable.

Am learning a lot

Angelo State University has wonderful Professors that are very familiar with their field. I have yet to come across a Professor that conducted a blow off course. They know their stuff and they take it seriously.

Valerie from Brownwood, TX

This school is great for students on a budget, who want a hometown feel mixed with the city, and for a diverse experience. There is a rich culture at ASU, you just have to experience it for yourself!

Tips for prospective students

If you are planning on attending ASU, and have been accepted, register for housing AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!! I can't stress how important it is to register early to get the dorm you want! Also, I recommend finding an extracurricular activity such as a sport, religious group or club to join; it will help with making friends a lot easier and faster. Also, if your living on campus, then you are required to have a meal plan, so make the most of it! You are paying to go there, so eat there and save some cash! Students can eat at the Cafeteria, or the University Center. Parking: Make sure that you park in your designated parking zone, because you will get a ticket! I once witnessed one of the campus policeman taking a picture with his phone of a car that was parked crooked at the University Center, and they got a ticket! A bonus for on campus students or C zone students, you are free to park in B and D zones AFTER 1:00PM! A major tip is to also do research on the professors you are planning to take, ask current students, look online at Rate My Professor or even call and talk to them yourself; believe me you don't want to get stuck with someone you don't like! If you do happen to get stuck, don't worry, the first 2 weeks of school are Add/Drop week, which means you have two weeks to check and see if another class has space for you to transfer to!

Bang for the buck

I would have to say that ASU offers a lot of recreational, educational, and overall fun experiences on and off campus for students. The financial aid staff is always on top of their duties and keeping you informed of your situation. The school also offers a LOT of scholarships, most of which are geared towards incoming freshman. However, there are some scholarships such as the CARR scholarship which is grade based, and once received, if you keep your grades and classes at the requirement, you will receive it every year you attend.

Am enjoying being here

The campus has improved a lot over just the last year that I've attended! They have completely redone the Library and the Gym, as well as redone the walkways around campus, and added new housing units and recreational areas! The campus constantly has events going on that are offered to ASU students, as well as the San Angelo Community; the good thing is that student usually get in FREE! Anything from tailgating parties before football games, to Flamingo dance lessons, and movies in the Planetarium are available.

Am learning a lot

I am currently an Art Major, and of course everyone has to cover basic classes as well as your major concentration areas as well. I would have to say that the classes I've taken outside of my concentration area are really great. If your not that into math or science, they offer Intro to Business math which is WAY easy and the professor is a really funny guy, or they offer Astronomy, which is held in the Planetarium! So overall, in or out of your concentration area, your going to get a great experience in all of the different major departments.

Remington from San Angelo, TX

ASU is great for any type of student looking at going to college or looking to transfer.

Tips for prospective students

Always make sure to have your work turned in on time. If you have a question don't hesitate to ask your professor during or after class.

Bang for the buck

Being that ASU is a small school (D2) it offers many scholorships, athletic, up and coming scholars, carr, music, choir, and many other scholorships are available online. The opportunities are here, you just have to do your part and apply.

Am enjoying being here

Angelo State is great with activities. There's something going on everyday whether it's sports, fraternities, or the multicultural center. At least one time out of everyday there is something going on, and its never boring. It's always exciting to see what is going to happen. ASU also has a very nice scenery, it's always nice to just walk and enjoy the park like outdoors there on campus.

Am learning a lot

I've learned alot while attending Angelo State. The students here are friendly, there's no certain clicks, or groups, everyone is someone here at Angelo State. The professors never hesitate to help out a student, they'll help you out however they can.

Great for these types of students

Angelo State is great for people who want to go into practically any field and who want a little diversity in their life. We have an excellent student teacher ratio and lots of people who are willing to help you out. The campus is located in west texas and the people around town are very nice and accepting.

Tips for prospective students

If you are thinking of attending here, then definately schedual a trip for a campus tour. Angelo State often has a day set aside about once a month called Discover ASU which allows prospective students and parents to walk around the campus, meet other people who are attending the school, view the dorms, and see what types of clubs are offered around campus. Once you are accepted, then come and join us in the summer for SOAR where you can register for classes and find out more about the classes here and have the oppotunity to stay in a dorm overnight. If you can't stay overnight they do have the SOAR express option. Check the Angleo State Website for more information.

Bang for the buck

The tuition is one of the best things about this school. It is one of the lowest in the state of texas from what i understand and there are scholarship opportunites everywhere. The Carr scholarship is actually our largest scholarship on campus and is awarded to several students every year. I myself have 3 scholarships from the theatre department, the music department, and the communication department. all you have to do is put int the application.

Am enjoying being here

There's a lot going on at this school that offers you opportunities to interact with your fellow students. Once a month they do this thing called Uc Cafe where we get to see alot of comedians and sometimes musical artist. This year we were lucky enough to have actor and comedian Rob Schnieder visit our school!

Am learning a lot

Not only am i learning alot about my chosen field but i'm also learning alot about other fields that i had no interest in before attending here. I also learn about alot of different cultures because they offer different events in our university center such as a native american tribe day or black history month events and we have alot of students from all over the world attending as well. The school also offers tutoring for alot of subects and it helps out alot.

Great for these types of students

This school is great for all majors especially their Psychology, Education and Pre-Med One of the most impressive thing is how well the school does to unify all ethnic groups. If you want to experience new cultures, save money, and be part of a unified school then Angelo State University is you school!

Tips for prospective students

Angelo State is a great school for incoming freshmen. It's the perfect size for students coming from both rural and urban areas. Student's can get to know their professor's and can easily become part of an organization.The classes aren't generic and the professor make the effort to make sure you grasp the material which you would not get at many larger universities. It's so easy to make friends that you will have for a lifetime there.

Bang for the buck

Money was always one of the burdens I have had when entering college but Angelo State has helped me so much. They have so many scholarship opportunities, grants, and work study programs that you can even make a profit there. They will pay you to take surveys, referee games you love, and provide job opportunities. If your in financial need they have several ways to help you pay for tuition, books, and class. I came to Angelo State for virtually nothing. They give access to computers, supplies, even laundry which is covered in your tuition. It's a great school for a even better price.

Am enjoying being here

I enjoy every moment here. There is always programs, athletic events, and educational opportunities here everyday. I have had so many new experiences that I would never have thought of having. Whatever you like they have it. Whether it is community service, video games or salsa dancing they have an event for you and if they don't you can start your own or they will make an event that will interest you. I have had some of the best experience of my life here.

Am learning a lot

As a an incoming freshmen, I was very nervous on how I would be able to handle the transition from high school to college. I was amazed by how much the professors would help you. The size of the school makes it easy for the professor to work with you throughout the entire without sacrificing the the quality of education. I'm learning the material as well as other skills I can use through life including time management, sociability, and understanding other's culture and traditions.

Tips for prospective students

Come to Angelo State University! Apply for all their scholarships their is nothing you can lose and be involved on campus!

Bang for the buck

Angelo State University offers many scholarships for incoming freshman. Because Angelo State is a small campus they can offer more money to qualified students. A side from this, the university's Multicultural Center also offers scholarships to incoming scholars and young girls who choose to participate in the mother/daughter program. ASU was founded by San Angelo's elite citizens the money these citizens donated goes towards student scholarships.

Am enjoying being here

Angelo State University has over 20 student organizations. It is not hard to find one that accomodates your interests. This university's organizations are more like mini families that stick together. Most of these organizations offer scholarships without requiring anything but participation. Even more than financial aid being involved in an on campus organization rewards you with the gift of life long friendships.

Am learning a lot

Being at Angelo State University I have learned the true meaning of diversity. Though it is a small school it's diversity is what makes it so great. I have learned that diversity is not just having class with different ethnicities but also accepting their culture and admiring their traditions.

Christina from Odessa, TX

Great for any one going into the health field. Its not a spread out campus so its wonderful for people wanting to make new friends.

Tips for prospective students

Apply for financial aid ASAP! Also handle all of the paper work for your dorm quickly otherwise you may be in a building you may not want to stay in. Also, register quickly so you have plenty of classes and teacher's to choose from.

Bang for the buck

The university has a clinic and many sports and exersise classes open to the students. Tons of tutoring so struggling with classwork can be less stressful.

Am enjoying being here

I enjoy being here the dorms are close together so there is always someone new to meet or talk to. The lake and river give the students a little get a way from constant class work.

Great for these types of students

If you like to develop relationships with your teachers and to be in small classes, then Angelo State is just right for you! And we may be a small school, but boy do we have school pride! Please help spread our Ram Pride!

Tips for prospective students

My tips for all of you prospective students is to be up to the challenge of late nights and early mornings due to intense study sessions, so bring your coffee pots with you on move-in day! Also be ready to meet hundreds of new people, because the people you meet in college could be the people you will be friends with for the rest of your life! Try to keep good study habits and be careful if registering for morning classes, sleeping through a class can hurt your grade.

Bang for the buck

ASU tuition is easy to deal with. They have many scholarship opportunities and have an amazing finanical aid program.

Am enjoying being here

I love being at Angelo State. It is the perfect size school. Not too small, but not too big either! There are so many activities to take part in and so many people to meet. It's always been said that once you get to college you won't want to leave. I'm proud to say that, after my first weekend here at ASU, I told my parents that I never wanted to go home.

Am learning a lot

Here at ASU the teachers main goal is to help you succeed in all of your classes. They take the time to get to know you so that you can learn more and gain better knowledge of various subjects. I'm enjoying learning so far and you also get a chance to meet some friends during classes and study sessions.

Aniece from Killeen, TX

Any type of student will fit in here. I hear the biology and math programs are pretty good.

Tips for prospective students

Have an open mind. Use rate my professors when you are about to choose a class. Renting books is better than buying them, Chegg works out great. Stay positive and work hard.

Bang for the buck

Well with the tuition thats being paid there are all kinds of fees that need to be paid but you can look online and realize that the fees you are paying most things you get free or cheaper than other schools like a parking pass or yearbook fee. When you join certain organizations thats free as well because you're already paying for it.

Am enjoying being here

Everyone is very friendly, no one seems to mind striking up a conversation or giving you an extra hand which makes it easier and more fun to be on the campus. There is so much to do on campus and nice shops off campus so its pretty cool.

Am learning a lot

The academic side to this campus so far is great, the books they use are informational and most professors and tutors make sure you actually learn what is being taught and anything else you might need to help you in the future.

This school is very good for students looking for careers in health or science. The dorms are also nice and spacious, and the meal plan isn't bad either. For a school of its size, Angelo State has a good amount of resourses to aid with studying and such. The classes are usually under thirty people unless it is a lecture course and the professors don't have teacher assistants teaching their classes. The professors are also usually easily accessible and are open to appointment scheduling. Also, the university provides supplemental instruction to help with any questions you may have about course curriculum. Overall, attending this school has been a good learning experience and an smooth transition into college life.

Bang for the buck

Angelo State is one of the least expensive public universities in the state of Texas and it has highly ranked physics and biology programs so I would say that it is worth the money.

Am enjoying being here

I am enjoying the university. I have lived in Austin, Tx for most of my life so it was a little different moving to a smaller town but the friendly and helpful faculty, staff, students, as well as the surrounding townspeople made the transition much easier than I anticipated.

Am learning a lot

So far, Angelo State has taught me a lot as well as enhanced knowledge that I already knew from high school. I found that the Science courses were somewhat difficult but the professors are understanding and will help you when you need it.

Cala from Coleman , TX

This school is great for biology or any health field degrees. One of the top school for these programs.

Tips for prospective students

This school is a great school to attend if you are wanting to pursue a degree in any health field. This is a school that has the most success at getting there students into premed school. They have a great biology program ,one of the hardest , but the teachers are great and willing to help out as long as you get to now your professors. It is easy to meet people at this school there are many organization to join. I'm sure any student can find an organization they are interested in. This school has programs for students who need extra help in their classes and they are very helpful as long as you are willing to attend. Overall this school is a great school!

This school is mainly recognised in science for its biology and physics programs, not to mention pre-medicine, and they are ranked among the top in the state. The exceptions are Chemistry and Biochemistry - From the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department. All of the department professors are... hmm... let's just say they're not the best teachers and they don't really care about how much you learn, they just want to get the class over with.
